Its Texas. We lead the country and probably the world in roasting criminals.

Like it or not its a fact.

btw, when did you move to Tx. IIRC you were in Newfoundland, CA.
Oh, I know that there is a lot of capital punishment here - I'm just under the impression that acts of passion do not generally have the death penalty...even in TX.

I arrived in DFW on June 13, 2004 - got a job right out of college with an oil and gas equipment manufacturer. And yes, I was in Newfoundland, Canada.

I'm still waiting on buying an S2000 but it won't be long ,especially at the prices I'm seeing - there was an '04 for $26K this week. Heck - I was in L.A. this past week and saw a 360 Modena I really liked - my wife said I could have one in three years.

Now, I just have to get my cocaine smuggling ring started.

YOu should watch the movie, "Blow". No it's not porn, it's about Carl Jung one of the US's biggest cocaine importers.

I have a better idea. Not as lucrative (by a long shot) but it won't land me in jail...

I've heard of the movie but never seen it. Johnny Depp, right?

Yeah, that's the flick. It's entertaining. I agree with you though. The cocaine trade and jail do'nt seem too fun!

actually, i said YOUR pain and suffering, not mine. i was merely relating to how you might feel, and i should had quoted "pain and suffering". sorry... anyway, personally i wouldn't allow myself or feel the need for "pain and suffering". like i said earlier, if my wife was to cheat on me, i would just accept that it has happened, divorce her and make sure she gets as little as possible for the divorce, and move on. i would never consider reconciling with my wife if she was to cheat on me, so allowing myself to feel "pain and suffering" would really serve no purpose other than self induced misery (since feelings are something that human beings have the power to control).

as for my "screwing" someone else's wife given half the chance, sure why not. i would never be the one to persuade this or any wife to commit adultery, but if she chooses to commit adultery on her husband on her own, then it really doesn't matter if it is with me or with someone else--she will most likely have an affair eventually. my take on this is that if the affair is consensual between the 2 individuals involved and that neither persuaded, coerced, or threatened the other to proceed with it, then that's just 2 adult human beings making their own personal decisions and charting their own personal directions in life. will some third person be hurt by this or will any of the 2 having the affair be adversely affected in the end?? sure, probably. but as long as the 2 having the affair are aware and willing to accept and deal with the potential consequences of their decisions then how is that really any different from making any other personal decisions in life?? i mean, if one chooses to drive 80mph when the speed limit is 65mph, will this person be risking his/her life as well as the lives of others around him/her?? sure, probably. but yet, most people have no problem making the decision to speed despite the fact that the outcome of the decision may have adverse effects, not only on oneself, but also on innocent people around him/her as well as his/her family.

Cool

[QUOTE=MDXLuvr,Nov 23 2004, 07:50 PM] WTF?

So what you are saying is that since you "love your family" so much, you are going to shoot another guy when YOUR wife cheated on YOU.
